U TRAGANJU ZA NEPOZNATOM BAŠTINOM NAUČNI RAD ĐENANE BUTUROVIĆ
SCIENTIFIC WORK OF ACADEMY PROFESSOR ĐENANA BUTUROVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: I want to emphasize the importance of an individual scientific research mission of Đenana Buturović in the field of studying epic folk literature of Bosniaks, which is an unavoidable point in the historical conception of cultural memory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Đenana Buturović’s scientific work is extremely important in the context of recognizing national identity, knowing how much the oral-literary representation of the past is necessary for the formation of a healthy identity. I will emphasize the beginnings of the scientific engagement of the esteemed professor, because even then, serious interests and studies in writing, collecting, and interpretive-theoretical work in the field of oral literature were already visible. I will pay special attention to four works, namely: Porodični odnosi u epskim narodnim pjesmama Muslimana u Bosni i Hercegovini (engl. Family Relations in Epic Folk Songs of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina), 1963, Epska narodna tradicija istočne Hercegovine (engl. Epic Folk Tradition of Eastern Herzegovina), 1968, Narodna poezija u Drežnici kod Mostara (engl. Folk Poetry in Drežnica near Mostar), 1982, and Narodna poezija u tešanjskom kraju (engl. Folk Poetry in Tešanj Region), 1987.
